CITY COUNCIL GHAT
The Twelfth Street Improve
ment Again Under Fire. .
DITISI05 OF ASSESSMEUT DESIRED,
Instead of a Can BmIf. tVlilch Was In-
auguraleu to Avoid Aaothor Opportunity
fur the objtroctlonWts to Defeat the
Proeeealoe Froart3rlOIder PatiUoa
Last Evening Orbit.
Another discussion of the Twelfth
street improvement ' proceeding!,
which apparently . will be con
tinued without a possible oppor
tunity for the public obstructionist
heretofore ueicrrmg progress on a
mere technicality, was opened last
evening in the appearance of Hon
W. H. Gest before tlio council to
have the assessment divided into
installments, before the continua
tion of the lew. when in fact this
could be done any time prior to the
commencement of the tax collection.
and, therefore, avert any chance to
question the legality of the proceed
ings in selling up " viaim mai
the amount of the first installment
should be stipulated, a point which
was sustained in the previous ordi
nance. However, Mr. Gest stated
that he was there in behalf of the
Twelfth street petitioners, who de
sired a division into installments' of
the tax levy. He asKed the council
to follow the customary plan in lev
ying assessments, which is not a
very severe hardship. The cour-e
now being pursued, he claimed,
would mean a hardship oniproperty
holders, who could not bear up the
payment of the assessment as a
whole. Mr. Gest only represented
those residing below Seventh avenue.
City Attorney Haas stated that the
idea of compiling an ordinance pro
viding for the payment of the im
pro vcniun t oa a cash basis was to avoid
a similar technicality which knocked
out former proceedings on aeeouot
of the amount of the first install
ment not being lived. Mr. Haas
recommended that the proceedings
be let go on now, as any, interferes e
would complicate matters and give
those indifferent to the improvement
an opportunity to cripple mat
ters, and, as the law allows, to let
the council pass an ordinance divid
ing the assessment into installments
of such numbers as it sees lit any
time before the collection of such is
commenced. The city attorney did
not agree with Mr. Gest that the
council could not pass an ordinance
providing for a division of the as
sessment after the court confirms
the levy.
As the Twelfth street assessment
will not come np in the coart for
confirmation for ft few weeks. City
Attorney Haas suggested that a sup
plemental ordinance be drafted and
presented at 'a future meeting, when
the council could make such disposi
tion of it as it saw lit, although he
conceived no necessity of having the
assessment divided before confirma
tion of the proceedings, when the
same purpose could be accomplished
afterward, and possibly avoid further
UllllCUHy.
It has always been the intention of
the council "to divide the Twelfth
street improvement levy into install
ments hence the uncalled for un
easiness of property holders that
they will have to remit as a whole.
Ma Follca ATatron.
The appeal of the W. C. T. U.
ladies was not very effective toward
me carrying 01 tneir point in the
matter of the appointment of a po
lice matron. Aid. Johnson, from the
police committee, reported adversely
on it last night, believing the de
tention of women .and children in
adequate to justify the employing of
an additional official.

Wheelmen are compelled to keen
in the middle of the road hereafter.
The ordinance adopted last night ex
pressly prohibits rid in 2 on sidewalks.
and compels cyclists to carry bells in
day and lanterns at night time.
Anything above a moderate speed
will net be tolerated, neither will
riding more than three abreast on
Cue highways. An ordinance similar
to this was passed recently in Gales
burg, and was met with lively oppo
sition by riders of that place. Sev
eral days ago Gas Kohler, of the
uiiesburg Mil, was arrested for rid
ing a wheel without a lantern. The
young man employed attorneys and
was prepared to light the case, when
the proceedings were dismissed by
the city attorney. Kohler did not
d.-nythat he had ridden without a
1 cut, but stood on his attorneys1
o v. Lion that tUfe council had exceed
ed its authority in making tho law.
The decision in this case is of great
importance to local wheelmen, as it
establishes the fact that' they cannot
do successfully prosecuted under the
ordinance.
Teanou la the Park.
The ordinance preventing the litter
ing of public park walks with peanut
shells and other refuse was a desira
ble and much-needed action, and its
enforcement will mean an improve
ment in the beauty and cleanliness of
the places. which Commissioner Jack
son cited in a communication accom
panying the ordinance which he
drafted, were filthy with shells, etc.,
especially after Sundays, through
me carelessness and disrespect 01
persons. A nuisance has been done
way with, which the public will ap
plaud, and probably the next step
will be to abolish aa eauallT dis
gusting state of affairs in the sup
pression 01 nooainms, who nightly
invade Spencer square and do not ap
preciate the beauty and comfort of the
park.

The defendants in the libel suit of
C. C. Macdonald vs the Davenport
Democrat company and E. E. Cook
have hied their answers to the peti
tion for damages for defamation of
character. The defendants jointly
and severally answering the petition
admit that the statements alleged
were published by the company, but
deny that they were published with
malicious intent or with the intent of
injuring the character or reputation
of the plaintiff, and deny that the
plaintiff was charged with being the
'-latest, smoothest, most scoundrelly
operator of all the alleged dangerous
class of hypnotists." but allege that
the plaintilf was charged with being
one ef the "latest, smoothest, most
scoundrelly operators of all this dan
gerous class, if there was any such
thing as placing confidence in his
own written statements and admis
sions made time and again," and the
defandants further allege that the
statement was true, and was pub
lished with no malicious intent. The
defendant denies charging the plain
tiff witn ociug a bigamist, but states
that it was 'Charged in said publica
tion that piaintm by bis own show
ing is a bigamist, and further alleges
that the published statements were
true and published with no malicious
intent.
On this main point the Democrat
says: "That a short time prior to

several months prior to the said mar

MARY'S HOVEL RAIDED.
Tha Kotorloae Ftrt Acoaao Stafford- Wa
' maa'e Brothel Cleaaed Pit.
The brothel of the notorious Mary
Ann Stafford oa First avenue was
cleaned out by the police about 10
o'clock last night, and the occupants,
foul-mouthed Mary Annf Al Berry,
Andrew Hamlin and Martin O'Con
nell, three guests, whose appear
ances were fully up to the standard
of the surroundings, carted to head
quarters, amid blasphemous and hair
rising epithets, which rent the
air, were delivered with all the force
of Mary Ann's vocabulary. Thia
low resort has of late been a subject
for continued complaint from neigh
bors and others having a knowledge
of the daily immoral functions being
carried on there. Some time ago the
woman was given a 30-day sentence,
and one of her children takcu
from her and placed in more
deserving hands. Last night another
celebration of a hilarious and dis
gusting order was in progress, when
the police were attracted to the
scene. An empty growler, which bad
been rushed until all were paralysed
from its contents, lay on the table
beside a lamp without a globe; two
of the male visitors were stretched
out on the floor boiling under
heavy loads, while Mary Ann and still
another man were attempting to
play a game with the pasteboards,
and a cute little girl was witnessing
the actions of her mother.
Scored the OIBeerf .
Mary Ann was bareheaded and pret
ty well thawed out this morning when
she was brought before the 'squire.
She wouldn't plead guilty, and scored
the officers, especially Officer Miller,
on whom 6 ho discharged an addi
tional amount of gas, for the
accusations against her "good"
character. She claimed she wasn't
drunk, but was simply having a so.
cial chat with a few old acquaint
ances. The growler had not bein
rushed, but was there in case anyoie
got dry. Magistrate Schroedt r
didn't take much stock in Maty
Ann's shenanegan, and imposed a
line of f 50 and costs. Asked if sle
could remit, she replied:
I wouldn't pay if I had a thous
and dolli rs, but I would give a good
d-al to get a rfunch at old Marshal
Miller." Mary went to jail.
Her distinguished guests. Martin
O'Conncll, Al Berry and Andrew
Hamlin, were taxed $10, $25 and $15
and costs, respectively, the latter
two going to jail in default of pay
ment, and Martin released on. "a

Now Kent Waata liock Inland la the Wes
tern Aenoelatlea.
Secretary McHugh, of the former
Rock Island-Moline Base Ball asso
ciation, today received a dispatch
from President W. W. Kent, of the
Western Base Ball association, ask'
ing if Rock Island would take the
place of Omaha in the association
McIIugh promptly wired back that
be was out of the base ball business.
and so was Rock Island, from all ap
pearances, ior mis year, at least.
Tho audacity of the act in asking
Rock Island to supersede a city like
umana ia an association, which, with
the aid of Hugh Nicol, treated Rock
Island so outrageously, is only ex
ceeded by tne Des Moines trick itself.
Mr. Kent and his gang are now
evidently getting ready to give
Omaha just such a set out as they
did Rock Island, and those who carry
on base ball in Rock Island will not
be a party to such work. Probably
the game is' ta get Omaha out be
cause Dave Rowe, whom Kent hates
as the evil one does holy water, is
connected with the ' association in
that city.

Harry Sage, Jimmie Conners and
